Questioning and posing problems is a strategy that can be used to search and find solutions. This tactic can even be used on tests, which is in fact what I did. For the first chemistry test, I wasn’t exactly sure how complex the problems would be. The test was on Measurement, Atomic structure, and the Periodic table. I studied the book, packets and looked at some of the power points, but didn’t feel like I actually understood the material. To truly see if I have grasped the information I learned to ask myself some questions. So that is exactly what I did. I looked at the previous quiz to get an idea of what type of questions would be on the test and then I thought of what questions Ms. Knowles would ask of us. Predicting the questions is good in two ways. One, it is a good way to test yourself and two, it makes u think further than you normally would. For example I noticed there were a lot of questions in the packet on precision and accuracy, so I studied up on that. The packet defined the two words, but there no practice problems, so I made my own practice problem. On the test the first question was on accuracy. It has been proven that just reading the information isn’t enough to learn it. Students need to recite it multiple times and even then they don’t remember all 100 percent of it. Asking questions and making problems is a better way to learn information because it makes the student be involved with what he or she is studying. When students take that extra step in being curious they are usually rewarded. I was able to get a 97 percent on this science test because I asked myself questions such as what problem will be on the test? How can I test myself to see if I understand the information? And so on. Scientists also ask questions to see if they understand what is going on. Reasoning is a key element in any good scientist because in the real world nothing goes as planned. To pick up on those unexplained occurrences scientists ask themselves questions, as they work through their brain what could be going on.
